32 | Complaint also alleged that staff did not respond to resident’s call button in a timely manner. Reporting Party alleged that when R1 pushed their call button, no staff would respond. Based on interviews and record review, the facility’s policy is for caregivers to respond to call buttons within 10 minutes or less. Based on interviews, it takes staff less than 10 minutes to respond to a call button and if they are busy, other caregivers can be called on to help.
Complaint also alleged that staff did not provide services to resident as specified in their care plan. Per interview with Reporting Party, R1 was to get showers on a daily basis per their care plan and status checks throughout the day. According to the Reporting Party, status checks were not done in person. Based on interviews and record review, R1 did ask for a shower every day and was provided one by their 1:1 caregivers as R1’s private caregivers asked the facility staff not to provide care.
Complaint alleged that staff did not notify resident's responsible party of changes to R1's care plan. Based on document review and interview, the facility’s Care Coordination Director and Regional Care Director contacted R1’s responsible party and discussed each update to the care plan with the responsible party.
Complaint alleged that staff overcharged resident. According to the Reporting Party, R1’s level of care costs were raised from $2,200 to nearly $6,000. Based on document review and interview, R1’s needs changed over time and thus R1 was reassessed by the facility’s Care Coordination Director and Regional Care Director. They notified R1's responsible party of the change who agreed to the change in level of care and cost associated. In addition, based on document review and interview, level of care and monthly charges are explained in the facility's admission agreement.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. Therefore the above allegations are unsubstantiated at this time.
